Dental implants in growing patients: A quality assessment of systematic reviews

BACKGROUND: Dental implants in the recent past have become indispensable in restoring loss of space and support as well as aiding the aesthetics. Although in practice for a few years there is no consensus on the protocols for placement and usage of dental implants in growing jaws. OBJECTIVE: The pre...

description BACKGROUND: Dental implants in the recent past have become indispensable in restoring loss of space and support as well as aiding the aesthetics. Although in practice for a few years there is no consensus on the protocols for placement and usage of dental implants in growing jaws. OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to evaluate evidence-based literature on single or multiple dental implant placements in children(up to 17 years) and to identify areas lacking and gaps in knowledge. The quality assessment tool,namely AMSTAR-2, will also aim to evaluate the quality of said research around paediatric dental implants. DESIGN: The study was prospectively registered on the Open Science Framework https://osf.io/e59bt/?view_only=ec8fb69455c240ecbfc7379734784bf7. For source selection, electronic searches were performed on MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus databases as well as Google Scholar for all English language systematic reviews and meta analysis on dental implants placed on children up to 17yrs of age by 2 reviewers, wherein the publications until December 2020 were included. A final dataset of 4 systematic reviews were incorporated and analysed using the AMSTAR-2 grading tool. RESULTS: It was seen that only one study showed moderate overall confidence while one low overall confidence as per the AMSTAR-2. The other 2 systematic reviews were of critically low confidence levels. Hence, the existing systematic reviews on the subject are not of high quality. Most of the reviews have no consensus regarding use and placement of implants in growing patients. CONCLUSION: More research and stricter adherence to the quality assessment guidelines is recommended for all future systematic reviews regarding dental implant in children.
